Happy today. Got a nice phone call from the PPI guys who said that I am due a refund. I had no idea that I had been paying hundreds of pounds that were wasted. If you think about all the bands that have been blighted by this, it really beggars belief. Sorry, but it makes me so angry. All those songs that were never made.

Had someone come up to me after a gig recently and they said they really enjoyed it. I just stared at him. After a while he seemed uncomfortable but he made me feel uncomfortable. I mean, he was supposed to enjoy it cause that's what we intended when we made the songs up. After 3 min of this he said he had to go to the toilet. This is normal.

Really dull and overcast in Essex today. It is one of those days where all the colour goes out of things. It can make you feel blue. I guess this is what inspires singer songwriters to make blues songs sometimes because it can be sad. Perhaps I will write a song about that today. Let's see what happens. Fingers crossed!

Nice day today. All the band met up and we sat drinking egg nog and smoking Gitane cigarettes from soft packs but I don't smoke. We spoke for maybe eight or nine hours solidly about music and the direction the band is going in. We laughed and we cried in equal measures as we remembered the huge musical triumphs we have all had in the band 8rr over the last three years. The literally hundreds of records that we have sold means we must keep this going. We owe it to all the fans

It's rainy today. Rain is important for the plants and such. But sometimes you get rainbows if it then gets sunny. That hasn't happened today. Rainbows are lovely. I never quite think they are real. So many colours. I think that inspired the cover of our lossleader album cover. So uplifting like the album.
